Salvation [May 22, 2016]

There are clouds forming, dark and blue

They are hiding power, something new

Inside the swirling chaos and hate

There is thunder, there is fate

 

The ocean roars, it swells and rolls

It swallows the hate, and devours souls

Whirlpools whip, they lash and tear

Cyclones ravage without a care

 

In all this madness, on the open sea

One man stands, devoted and free

On the water of hatred and shadow

He searches for an end to the sorrow

 

The forces of nature are unforgiving

They try to destroy all that is living

The sea is judgment and salvation

To those who can face their fears and damnation

 

In the center of the storm it is calm

On his battered ship, he raises his palm

He calls out, with his voice and mind

He controls the storm, and forces it to unwind

 

The storm falls apart without a word

His work done, he fades into a blur

The sun shines on the sparkling water

And he disappears, forever after

 

He was never known, but the people wonder

Will he return, if it should ever thunder

He was a miracle, selfless and kind

He saved them, from the ravages of time
